Our Christmas Tree

It turns out that if you move halfway across the country, to a warmer climate, you shouldn't expect them to grow the same kind of trees there. Our annual trip to tree farms to choose and cut our own noble fir had to be modified this year. There are no fir trees grown here. We did find that we could buy one pre-cut (and shipped to TX), but to cut our own, we almost exclusively had to go with a pine tree. But we did find a tree farm not too far away that had Blue Ice trees. I really like the color.

Here is Josh helping us cut our tree:



Even Lucas could help this year:

And Lucas hangs the second:



Honestly, our tree was trimmed in record time this year. The boys really helped, and it looks great.
